I had the pleasure and opportunity of attending Mr. Wakeman recent solo concert in Mexico City. I have liked his music since I was 15… I am 69 now and still enjoy… thanks for this on KZbin

[@AnotherPointOfView944]

Glad you enjoyed. We are going to his concert in Basingstoke, England (December 2024). Really looking forward to it.

[@2222isabella]

One of the many advantages of being of a certain age is that one remembers all the good music that was written during the second half of the last century. And that is an invaluable asset to be grateful for. THANK for this GEM!

[@ericzwerling2746]

This was absolutely magical ! Rick Wakeman has been the soundtrack of my life for over 50 years, and I truly loved this concert. So glad I stumbled upon it ! Ashley Holt is the true and everlasting voice of these classics and he's wonderful here. The interplay between Rick and Adam was simply amazing. I can't even think as fast as Rick can play the keyboards. The camera work and quality of the video was excellent, giving a real view of Rick's keyboardsmanship, his facial expressions, Ashley singing songs I've loved since the 70's, the amazing guitarwork of the session guy (who is he??); it was all just so well done, and then edited so professionally, by someone who obviously loves these guys as much as we do. Brian May was a surprise treat, and his guitarwork on Starship Trooper (appropriate since Sir Brian is an astrophysicist...) was unreal. There were many points during this concert that I got chills. Rick, I flew to London (from NJ, USA) for your last performance of Journey with the whole crew. I can't thank you enough for all the thousands of hours of joy you've brought me over the decades, including most recently this 2.5 hours of pure joy. Edit - make that 5 hours. I just watched this a second time in quick succession, distracted only by writing this review and doing work with one eye (oh there is that on my desk, also).

[@Tilly850]

I keep watching this over and over. Great every time. Man...we are so lucky to have access to this fantastic concert. I agree with every word you said...

[@fyremanbill]

What you said! Couldn't agree more.

[@kevinlewis6541]

Amazing Performance!!😎 I'm 65 now and I am taking my teenage son to see Mr.Rick Wakeman Final Solo Tour in October in Rochester NY. I can not wait. 😊🏆💯❤️

[@herrflick8160]

And then came Brian May. The Whole dynamic changes

[@aitoraro9290]

Para mi, Rick Wakeman es uno de los más grande músicos que he conocido en mi ignorante vida. Desde que escuche Journey to the Center of the Earth a los 15 años (ahora tengo 59) quede enamorado de su música. Journey lo habré escuchado cientos de veces y no me canso. La primera vez que lo escuche en un walkman casí tuve un orgasmo auditivo, jajaja. Es un privilegio que todavía esté entre nosotros componiendo y deleitando nuestros oídos. Gracias Rick, con mucho afecto.

[@cecidabus2]

idem.

[@user-tl5bf3kv1s]

Muito bem dito.👍

[@devve7]

Yo inicié a ecucharle a la misma edad que tu, en 1975 con Viaje al Centro de la Tierra, alucinante!!! Me identifico al 100% con tu comentario. Saludos.

[@estebanbuenofalcon6867]

No puedes ser ignorante de ninguna manera si entiendes esta música que es cultura en sí…

[@fernandogarajalde4066]

😊 1:15:41 this is approximately when Brian May hits the stage, my friends. 😎

[@sebastianmachado9197]

Conocí la música de Wakeman desde chico gracias a mi padre, que tenía el longplay de La leyenda del Rey Arturo y los Caballeros de la mesa redonda. Hoy papá no está, pero al volver a escuchar estas músicas lo siento cerca mío.

[@ernestosansone7542]

Hermoso

[@LauraAAMartinez]

Vaya detalle que te ha dejado tu padre. Fuerte.

[@lusich94]

Te felicito SEBASTIÁN !!! Qué lindo legado (la buena música) que te dejó tu papá. Qué DIOS lo tenga en su gloria !!! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

[@JohnTischler]

Brilliant - all of them. See these legends before they pass into history, kids. You’ll never see or hear their like again.

[@massimomarchesin8708]

RICK WAKEMAN con BRIAN MAY !!!!!!! IL MAGO MERLINO delle tastiere assieme al GUITARQUEEN uno dei più grandi chitarra solista di sempre !!!!!!

[@kevinlewis6541]

Another AMAZING Epic Classic Rick Wakeman Performance. I'm 65 now and I can not wait to get to take my teenage son to see Mr.Rick Wakeman on his Final Solo Tour in October in Rochester NY. 😎😁👍❤️🏆💯

[@VenezuelaEnTusOjos]

I had the fortune of shaking hands with both Rick and Brian back in the 80s. Those are moments that will endure in my memory for the rest of my life.

[@dannilaser16]

Lucky you.

[@graxxor]

My uncle introduced me to Rick Wakeman well over 40 years ago and I have been an absolute fanboy ever since. That single introduction has steered my taste and interest in music for nearly half a century.

[@marcoantoniorezende5087]

Brian! Voyage to the center of rock!

[@richardsullivan3376]

What a fine 2 plus hours of masterpiece music. Rick Wakeman is the best keyboardist of all time and Brian May is right up there as one of the best guitarist. Music for the ages.

[@schlirf]

Dr. May is in the house!

[@robertjamison1463]

Br ian Mays contribution was amazing.

[@CGDESIDERATI]

Rick + Brian + red special ...... genious

[@CGDESIDERATI]

@Rick Wakeman sorry Me Wakeman but when you was in Caracas with your son, I hug you and said to you, that I considered you the BEST musician in the world 😁😁😁

[@cachosantillan1100]

Nos vemos en Buenos Aires, querido Rick Wakeman!!!! 2024

[@estebangranados2583]

When????😅😮

[@felipeneira8814]

Brian May taking over the concert. Such a feeling on those fingers. And also love how Rick's playing eyes closed awfully accurate!

[@callemoslosbrutose4807]

I LOVE RICK WAKEMAN AND HIS MUSICIANS, I LOVE BRIAN MAY, I LOVE ALL OF RICK WAKEMAN'S CAREER.

[@Fuzzinutt]

And Yes!! ;)

[@mauroneves1177]

Além do excepcional: Mike Oldfield, yet!

[@jbfiolo]

I love him! 😊

[@martinharnevie]

And in particular the stuff he did with David Bowie, beginning with the Space Oddity Mellotron, the Life on Mars piano and later the Absolute Beginners piano.

[@thomassicard3733]

Cool, Dr. May. Not bad for an astrophysicist. Love that Guild 12-string!!

[@sagestcyr1820]

You can pick Rick Wakeman's stylings out of a crowd. Incredible work, so glad I took time to listen - a lifelong Yes fan and stan for Rick Wakeman

[@jonathanwhite5640]

The Jedi Master of sonic art,posible Britains finest pianist,and mellotron player,lot better since they digitized them.

[@davidpotvin4983]

You're right about that - I even discovered that way that he was the pianist on Cat Stevens' Morning Has Broken once the piano started!!! No prompting whatsoever, I was hearing it and thought "hey, that's Rick!?!"

[@Tilly850]

This makes my ears tingling happy. I've loved RW since I was a teen...over 40 years ago. Love this concert. Man I love the internet for bringing me jewels like this to enjoy. Thanks for this.

[@benerocksilva]

Rick Wakeman is the best Keyboardist of the world !! There's no other !!!! God bless all of the band 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@robertjamison1463]

Rick Wakeman is a musical genius. Nice to see his son performing on stage with him.

[@lorenzovaldes476]

Yo desde que conocí al grupo Yes en 1970 como seguidores de todos su integrante

[@marcoagodoy]

Furious Brian May!

[@edwinvanderbeek9534]

Rick Wakeman is my alltime favo keyboardplayer.

[@ArnoAEvers]

I was actually attending this concert live. It`s unbelievable. And unforgettable.

[@marta70423]

Вам несказанно повезло.❤

[@chrisjames1924]

Takes balls to play like Brian does here live on stage. There's so much that can go wrong, he's completely exposed yet he's always in complete control.

[@marta70423]

Он - Моцарт гитары, замечательный и талантливейший Брайан !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikemustang3791]

I loved '39, great Queen song. Trooper sounds like Trevor's version!

[@StrideLatinProgRick]

SUPERLATIVE !!!

[@PazDesigners]

English rock music is for me the finest of all !!!!

[@jotita1959]

lo queremos mucho Rick, lo escuché por primera vez junto a Yes y luego su maravilloso album King Arthur, ese rey que llevamos todos dentro, gracias por llevarnos al reino de los sueños eternos.Desde mis 64 años saludos a sus 70 y algo...vida eterna Rick

[@oscarhuby5278]

Desde mis 66 años, me aúno a los saludos!

[@Yanto-Bardic]

We all know Rick is a genius and highly respected musician, but his "gift' for beautiful melodies is so underrated. The Melody in Arthur is simply Heart Breakingly Beautiful.

[@helderpacheco3902]

From Brazil, very very good...

[@kerry1754]

This is my teenage years , so wonderful after all those years

[@neculaiplugaru3514]

I have listened to Rick' s music since the seventies. I still find it BRILIANT in 2022 !

[@davidpotvin4983]

And I'm convinced that, like me, you'll still find it brilliant in any year!!! 👍🏻

[@ARoadd]

'39 here is simply the masterpiece❤😊

[@nestorlopez6983]

Wakerman and May !! luxury to see them together, I saw them separately with their groups in Buenos Aires. Two different but wonderful styles

[@charlenetaylor5548]

Absolutely love the drumming on Starship Trooper.

[@ferrumequus88]

We old dudes know how to rock.... Great music...

[@luckyheart9096]

Excellent! Fantastic! Superb! Extraordinary!

[@zby6k540]

Ciężko wyrazić to jedynym słowem.❤

[@beautifulinstrumentals2866]

Love the bass playing, especially during the “Journey” segment. Wakeman is unmatched, truly a musical genius. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chazthefurr]

Matt Pegg of Procol Harum. A great musician. His dad Dave Pegg played bass for Fairport Convention abd Matt did shows for them too. Dave Colquhoun is of course on guitar.

[@claudiopesse3802]

Gracias !!! Claudio desde Río Gallegos - Argentina

[@devve7]

Yo comencé a escucharle en 1975 con "Viaje al Centro de La Tierra..."

[@alexandreisavirov8511]

I had the chance to be at his presentation in Buenos Aires on 1980 or 1981, at Luna Park. I am unable to describe the feelings at the time, which still remain untouched. Being a Yes fun and particularly a Rick´s....you can imagine. Rick´s music is cosmic.

[@canu2001]

Yo tambien vi a rick en el luna! presentaba 1984... Fue genial, que recuerdos!

[@jeffschielka7845]

Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

[@IanBroon1]

Brian May proves you don’t need Gibson or Fender just talent.

[@patricianoud7096]

Yes, you can just build your own, out of an old fireplace mantle. Love the Red Special.

[@mmmzaarg]

OMG...what else can I say...Thank you, Rick, you´re amazing. I was very lucky to hear your concert in my city, Mendoza, I am so grateful. God bless you!

[@sammyvh11]

Incredible music.....the younger generation can listen to rap and death metal until it fries your brain and you need prozac......I'll take talent and harmony any day. Bravo

[@lorenzodicapo6305]

@MorbidManMusic lighten up Francis

[@boggo3848]

Damn, I love Rick Wakeman and prog but it's so unfair to say those types of music don't involve talent. And harmony is optional, if you enjoy prog you should enjoy experimentation beyond harmonic boundaries.

[@brianjennings7644]

That's incredible..! Thank you so much.

[@wgaf66]

What to say ... this is why I love Rock ... 2 monsters together in a great ending performance ! Bravo!!

[@Flashgordon1960]

Grande Rick uno dei migliori di QUESTO PIANETA.

[@daviddelagarza6300]

Thank You Míster Richard Wakeman, I vef8. To listen tour music since I was 10 Years old. 1972. And I AM still enjoing tour ART. Please, don't leave Us..... Tour older FANS.... !!!!!! THANKS A LOT MÍSTER WAKEMAN.... !!!

Awesome!!!!! All great!!! Gentlemen playing great music!!!! Thank You!!!!

[@marcelosabater6269]

Espectacular, te vi tocar en Bs. As. Y seguís intacto. Rick, gracias por la música que nos regalas. Que bueno verte junto. Brian... Extraordinario el Recital!!! Me encantó. También me gustó cuando con Yes invitaron Guedy Lee en bajo, fiel seguidores de ellos también. Llenaste mi alma de Música! Excelente todos los músicos. Espero vengas por Bs. As. Pronto!!!

[@oliviercottet1551]

Thank you a lot , Mister Wakeman, for this magic live ! :-)

[@DaysiRamirezC]

The best keyboardist, Rick Wakeman! Applause too for Brian May. 1:18:00 and 1:31:00

[@GrantJenkins]

Is that a song he is playing at the start??

[@carlossarmiento8690]

Rick Wakeman, as everybody said "The best of the best, incredible keyboards". I used to have a rock group back in the '70s and I tried to play Yes, long history, I never had that virtuosity. Now he is a Brother Mason as myself, and we are almost the same age. I am an Admirer of this Marvelous Musician and incredible music creator. I hope in the future he will create music for the Three Degrees.

[@gianniazzaro4978]

[@jump4j]

100%

[@maciejpiatkowski6601]

Keith Emerson? Yes! But Rick Wakeman? I'm not sure. What about Patrick Moraz or Dave Greenslade?

[@Biff3514]

@@maciejpiatkowski6601 Yes, and yes! and yes to Moraz and Greenslade. Wakeman may have slowed a bit in his later years but he still has it! Also might as well add Kerry Minnear and Tony Banks to the list and I know I'm gonna get shit because he's not prog but John Lord, truly one of the best with a Hammond B3!!

[@drMuggo]

Ken Hensley, with his multi-layer sounds, should be in any list of 10 best keyboard players

[@jump4j]

@@drMuggo good stuff,love UH. but was just thinking of musicians who were dedicated to keyboards and there are plenty of greats Emerson and Wakefield are the two that stand out for me with similar styles. rock on Felipe. thanks for reminding me of Uriah Heep will have to put some on.

[@56TheMick]

fabulous drummer!!!

He wasn't a bad drinker too!

Unquestionably the best of all time. When he plays incorporates all the great classic geniuses of the past.

[@frankalfar]

Man love to hear Brian May and Steve Howe play Starship Trooper. Btw so awesomely cool to hear Brian May and Wakeman together!!!!!!!!!

[@MrMoxx02]

Stewe Howe is the composer of STarship Trooper. He is not present at the concert

Pure pleasure. Thanks

Thank You for putting this on You Tube. I can be there and enjoy the show 😁😎👍🏆💯

[@wesmatron]

Rick Wakeman. Hard to describe how important his music is and what a treasure the man himself is.

[@Rondo2ooo]

This is great and somehow sad to see all those great musicians grown old together with prog rock. I was too small yet at that time, but still I hope there will come a time again with such musicianship being broadly accepted and available.

[@angelandonovrockbul949]

Поздрави от България. Видях и слушах най- накрая моят фаворит Рик Уейкман. Невероятен! Самият Стивън Хокинг ( 35: 18) изгледа целият концерт.

[@bigvin1970]

Did anybody notice Stephen hawking in the audience at 35:18 ? 😁

[@gunterponisch4396]

yes, !!!

[@iorgosprog]

It's certainly because Brian May worked with him for his doctorate.

[@AshleyOulton]

This was the closing night of the Starmus Festival in Tenerife in 2014. Stephen Hawking was the keynote speaker which is why he was there.

[@ernestosansone7542]

Lo escuché por primera vez en el LP Fragile, a partir de ese momento nunca más pude dejar de deleitarme con su música. Hoy tengo 60 años y espero seguir disfrutando sus melodías mientras mi cabeza y oídos funcionen

[@jotita1959]

le funcionará muchos años más, tengo 64, y me siento como un lolo, o un pibe o como le llamen, ejercicio, comida sana y disposición a dejarse llevar por esta musica que para mi es sagrada

[@alexei9216]

Genios que aparecen cada quién sabe cuánto

[@hatsbo1]

Stumbled across this and so glad I did! Seeing Brian May up there reminded me of seeing Queen at the Public Hall in Cleveland, OH, on what I believe what their first tour in America{pre Night at the Opera}. And then if that wasn't rewarding enough for this teenager, I saw Rick with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra perform Journey to the Center of the Earth in the same venue. For the encore they came back out and did the second half again, such a treat!

[@drahcirmolb351]

For the father-son duet towards the end...I would pay megabucks to watch in person. Amazing beyond belief. Thanks Rick Wakeman. I got to shake your hand in San Antonio, Texas...only took 40+ years but it happened!

[@tixximmi1]

Got to see Rick and son back in the '90s. First saw Rick/Yes in 74.

[@morkanta58]

[@dragonflysutra3232]

Wow this is superb. Rick has lost nothing in his playing and still rocks like the 70s. Ashley holt can still belt it out defying middle age. Also Rick’s extremely gorgeous and talented son Adam playing. Yeah almost forgot Brian may too!
